THE TEXAS uNvEsTIGATiON.
Ex-Governor Ireland Testifies BE-
fore the Senate Committee.
by telegraph to the Dispatch.l

10y W tuc Dinpeth-I
WASHINGTON, February 23.-m the
Texas investigation to-day Ex-Governor
John Ireland, of Texas, testified that
there was large negro element in
Washington county, and that since the
passage of the reconstruction laws
there had been more or less disturbance
in the county. The county revenues
had been wasted and stolen until the
last two or three years. The methods
resorted to by those in authority, wit
ness said, finally became so revolving
to the better portion of the Republican
party that Peoples party was formed.
He knew through the newspapers and
current rumor of the raiding OF one
or two ballot-boxes, the killing of
Bolton, and the lynching of three
negroes, but knew nothing personally
Of specific local acts of violence. Wit
ness declared the charge in the memo
rial to the Senate, that he as Chief Exc
cutive had refused to protect the memo
rialists, was untrue. He had never
been asked or requested to protect
them. The negroes of Texas, he said,
were of docile, confiding nature, and
perfectly quiet when left to themselves.
They were easily excited, however,
when harangued by those whom they
looked upon as leaders. 1t was unsafe
for negroes in negro districts to openly
spouse or vote the Democratic ticket.
The negroes were not interfered with
by the Democrats, and were allowed to
vote as they pleased and do as they
pleased, so long as they let society
alone. The purpose was generally the
creating of political following and
playing the rifle of political martyrs,
so as to procure official recognition.
They told the negroes that Cleveland's
Administration was responsible for the
earthquakes, the drought, and the fact
that cotton brought but 7 cents per
pound.
The witness was cross-examined by
Senator Spooner and said that he
spoke in a general way about the ne
groes of Texas, and that he had not
been in Washington county but about
twenty-four hours in the last ten years.
He only knew of the county revenues
being wasted as a matter of notoriety,
and could only instance one defalcation
during twenty years of Republican
control. He did not mean to say that
the county revenues were wasted each
year Of Republican control
The witness admitted to Senator
Spooner that his information about the
political methods of the Republicans of
Washington county was very general.
No citizen of Texas ever called to wit
ness notice the outrages upon ballot
boxes. Judge Rector, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee of
Texas, called witnesses attention to the
lynching of three negroes, while at the
same time declaring he did not believe
any good would come of it. Judge
Rector said the offering OF reward,
however, would stop the Republican
party in the North from preaching
against the South.

RICHMOND TOBACCO MARKET.

FEBRUARY %, 1877.
Our tobacco market is not particularly lively
nor yet as dull as It has been at times Attend
ance on sales has been good, attracted by loose
dark sales in the earlier morning hours, and
sales of new brights At auction on Change
later. We have a goOdly number OF buyers on
breaks. Dark leaf shows no improvement In
quality. A very few sales reich over cents.
while March statistics will show great falling
of in receipts. Priced dark leaf IL coming In
more freely and sells about same as loose
lots.
West Virginias a. a whole keep up well In
price, considering heavier receipts. Bidding on
fine cutters and best wrappers is spirited, but
Of superior grades there are very few, and
hence fancy prices are rare Old cutters and
good mahogany wrappers are in good demand'
with quiet private sales, aud some being bought
openly, though prices are not higher than seye-
raj weeks ago

The candidates elected include 66 Con
servatives, 20 Imperialists, 81 National

One hundred and twenty-six septen-
nateists and 100 opponents of the Gov

tons in SO districts will be necessary.
The Reichstag has been summoned to

All the first results of the German

uncontested cases and forecasting the
supplemental contests as carefully az
possible, the combined opposition
groups in the new Reichstag is placed
at 1T votes all told, while the Govern
ments supporters are estimated at 900.
The Tdgcbidd says The dangerous
character of the Alsace elections is
mitigated only by the largeness of the
Governments majority. Prince Ho-
henlohe may consider it advisable to
take precautionary measures in view
Of this hostile meeting.

terribly maneled, with features I'M
recognizable. The man WINS still living
but unconscious. He was removed TO
the hospital, where he died about noon
to-day.
Later in the day telegram was re
ceived from Beaver Falls announcing
that two dead men had been found last
night lying beside the track on the
Fort Wayne railroad at point between
Geneva and Beaver Falls. To all mp
pearances they had been struck by the
first section of Freight Train No. z,
which passed the place about 3 o'clock
last night. All indications point to
the conclusion that the three men
were together and were run down
by the freight train while walking on
the track One man lodged on the
pilot and was carried 10 this city. The
crew of the train knew nothing about
the accident until this morning. Two
of the victims have not yet been iden-
tilted. From papers found in the
pockets of the other one, it is thought
he was stonecutter, of Homewood,
Pc, named Daniel Donaldson.
